That's such a great image. Mine sticks its butt in my face, I'm not sure which is worse.

No, if there's no price break, then I'll just worry about sourcing them myself when the time comes. I do appreciate the offer.

I actually liked that whole show, might have to go back and watch some older shows. Any idea who he is on head-fi? I did a quick google for "tekzilla", but didn't find anything. We should invite him here.

Yeah, it's a curve, not a point.

AT L3000 Leatherhead (listening to these right now) Grado PS-1 AT VTG Stax SR-202 AKG K501 Sony MDR-CD3000 AT A950LTD AKG K271 MkII -- I think, haven't listened to them in a while Beyerdynamic DT770 Grado HP-2(-3?) -- wow, I didn't realize my tastes had changed so much that these had sunk so far -- it's not that I dislike them, they're just so different from everything else I have, that I have to be in a very specific mood to want to listen to them, and that mood has hit me less and less of late. Sony MDR-F1 -- I really haven't listened to these in a while, don't even remember what they sound like Ditto everything else (other Beyers -- DT931, DT990, something else, the blue metal limited Audio Technica from years ago)

We're thinking Michael Hutchence repeat performance on another forum. That's why you should have a whore or fuck buddy or something when you have bizarre sex experiments like that -- "hey, if I appear to lose consciousness, cut me down immediately and make sure I start breathing, okay?" I know, it takes away from the spontaneity and thrill of it all, but hey, you get to live to do it again another day, so...that's good, right?

I've met Ghost -- quite possibly the greatest cat ever. Drools, though. But that's because he's just so happy to see you.

Gorgeous.

Jesus keh-rist, this triptych of Foxtrot/Nursery Cryme/Selling England by the Pound is so good, it sends chills up my spine.

Bunch of fucking web pages -- jarsync, librsync, rdiff-backup, rsync, &c. Going blind, going to call it a night in a moment.

Argh! He was here in February!

I don't think it costs 1/3 more if you factor in shipping. I guess that depends on the shipping. And then we're also getting into Pico territory. And you're right -- I thought it had (non-USB) digital ins. My mistake.

First of all, I'm not entirely sure that's true -- we breathe about 2% through the pores in our skin. Secondly, he could be just saying that the air around his ears get stagnant and they get sweaty as a result. Which is how I thought it was meant.

I don't have this problem!

That's too bad. I heard this morning talk of suicide, but looks like that might not be the case. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Musical Fidelity X-Can V8P is $500.

I'd be contingently interested, depending on the timing (I.E. if it happens right away, then I'm out, if it doesn't happen until, say, October, then I'm in).

In answer to the original question: Philips SHP8500/27, obviously. + $10 mp3 player (yes, they exist; no, they're not iPods). And that leaves $15 in change. That's what it looks like to me. (Or possibly a lizard about to eat a watermelon, I think is what the original image was.)

Considering who you are, I don't think the warning applies in your case. Even I know who you are, and I hardly frequent Head-Fi anymore at all. Welcome to head-case, sorry about your thin skin, the back of your head, and your liver.

Probably just got caught in mid eye-turn, but yeah, he looks like he's about to set the glass on its side so that no-one can refill it. Nice glassware, guys!

Yeah, I know, I was being sarcastic. Schoeps is top echelon.

Holy shit, Cicadas!

Schoeps...Pfff.

Goth and metal, the best of both worlds.

You need to get into metal. And goth. Me: moar Genesis
